Here's what's strange.
When I first reached out to Tanya, she had Costas call me up to get a feel for me.
She never would have met me if he hadn't given his blessing.
In fact, when Tanya and I first spoke in person, she required that Costas be there too.
The man who once spent a decade chasing her became the bridge that allowed her to tell her story.
And maybe that's why she walked into that Panera, because letting Costas see her, really see her, was a way to bury the myth of Margot Freshwater and to fully embrace being Tanya.
It wasn't just Greg Costas.
Even the FBI agent who hunted Tanya in the 70s came around too.
Richard Knudsen also started to see that Margot had been telling the truth, that she had been coerced.
I walked into this project thinking I knew what this case was.
But now, knowing the new evidence, knowing how Tanya never wanted anyone dead, it's all so much clearer to me.
The frightened teenager who bore the blame grew into a woman who should have never lost a moment of her life to a prison sentence.
The girl who went on the run became a woman who lost decades she should have never had to forfeit.
She missed the opportunity to rebuild her relationships with her mom and brother.
She also missed their funerals.
She never got to say goodbye to the people who once loved Margo, like her aunt Leona, who she'd only seen glancingly when she bumped into her at a department store.
Because disappearing was the only way to stay alive.
No ruling, no reversal, no belated acknowledgement of the truth can return all that time to her.
But she can finally name what was taken.
She can finally claim who she is.
